There are 50 levels in Dungeons & Bombs with a little bit of variety, but the majority of the game is exactly as you see on the main menu and screenshots below. It's a very simple concept, you start with a set number of moves for each level and if they run out before you've reached the princess you'll die and need to start the level over. You can move left, right, up, down and press X to drop a bomb which takes 3 moves before it detonates. You'll need to use the bombs to clear out enemies and obstacles and occasionally pick up a key to unlock a door. Getting hit by an enemy or spike doesn't kill you, but causes you to lose an extra move, which often will result in you not being able to reach the princess in time so tactics and forward planning are extremely necessary.
It's quite a tactical game and you really have to plan out your moves in order to complete each level without running out of moves. From my experience there generally seems to be only one way to complete each level so it will take a bit of trial and error to figure out how the enemies and floor spikes move so that you can avoid them best. Thankfully each level takes a matter of seconds to complete once you know what you're doing, so this is a relatively quick Platinum - especially if you follow a guide (which I highly recommend), otherwise it could take a few hours to figure out all of the solutions on your own.
Some of the levels are harder than others and level 50 isn't necessarily the most difficult in the game, but you're going to have to complete everything else before you pop this trophy. The whole game is a breeze with a guide or video walkthrough.
I did the first half of the game without a guide. I occasionally put the above exploit to use but in general I had to figure out how to complete each level with some trial and error. It was quite challenging and a few levels took plenty of attempts to get through. If you use a guide you barely need to look at the screen though, just follow the directions and the Platinum is as easy as can be.
If you play it without a guide I reckon it could potentially take hours. A few levels had me stumped for more than 10 minutes, but with a guide you can easily Platinum the game in under an hour.
